Dear Mrs. Jernigan, Connie, Sandy and Jennifer, I am sorry for the loss of your father. He was a great man. Very funny. I use to run into your parents at Lawrence Pharmacy and talk with them a bit.

My favorite memory of your dad is the time when we were very young and you guys had that dog name Shotzie. Shotzie was drinking water from a puddle on the driveway that had formed because your dad was outside washing the car. We always laughed about your dad's name being "Elmo" and I guess my brother thought that the dogs' name was Elmo because Chris said, "Elmo" is drinking water from the driveway. We kids were mortified, but your dad just looked at us like we were silly kids and laughed. I know that doesn't sound like a big deal, but back then it was.

Hugs to you all, especially your mom. It is very hard to lose someone who has shared your life forever.

Your family is in my prayers. Remember - your best day on earth doesn't even come close to spending 1 second in heaven.
